Thanks I was really happy to get my grandfather gun. My brother ex-wife got it in their divorce 20+ year ago. I still talk to her a lot she found it in box emailed and asked if I wanted it. I was the last one to shoot the gun when I was 8 yrs old (50 yrs ago) I found it in my grandmothers bathroom cabinet sneaked outside
with it loaded one round and pulled the trigger. :mrgreen: I was still dirty when I got it.

My dad had a 32 revolver very much like that one. I had hoped to get it some day, but it disappeared from the house while I was away in the Air Force. Believe a b-i-l got it since he was the only one that had access to the house at the time.

That S&W is downright gorgeous.... :drool:

I know what you mean, my brother got everything else as always, if his ex didn't have this I would have got nothing. My mother left everything to him and my sister. Nothing to :cryin about.
Thanks for the comment on my 686. I worked hard on it
